Here's my take on it after working with the GTS for a decade or more.
 Basically the GTS is an unregulated mess of systems involving many
countries.  Some are good at it some are not.  Some don't use the right
headers, some make up their own and some just don't care.  Even here in the
states, errors can be feed into the system fairly easily, there are no real
checks, if the data is found in a specific place, it is picked up and sent
out.

And, to add to all that, it is also garbled at times from the many many
systems that touch eat bit including routers, switches, satellites, ground
stations, and so on.

It is what it is.
